It is, in fact, the most iconic emblem linked to Culiacan. Because when someone refers to our city, from anywhere in the world, its indissoluble relation with its baseball club comes to mind.
The club is already considered one of the most important franchises of all countries affiliated to the Confederation of Caribbean Leagues.
And mentioning one of Mexico’s most emblematic and prestigious baseball teams automatically brings us to Tomateros’ Stadium.
This stadium boasts the most modern facilities among all Latin American nations where the ‘king of sports’ is practiced. That’s why Tomateros’ Stadium is not just one of Culiacan’s top tourist attractions, but also a source of pride for fans and the entire city.

How this Virtual Tour was made
I made the virtual tour of the stadium in three stages: In the first stage, I took aerial shots, aiming to capture the blue, yellow, and orange hues characteristic of the so-called “Golden Hour”. For the shot of the Tomateros’ training, I increased the shooting speed, set the ISO to 1600, and opened the aperture to f/5.6, which allowed me to enhance the lighting.
To prevent the lights illuminating the Tomateros Stadium from appearing “overexposed,” I shot in bracketing with three different exposures. In the third stage, at dawn, I took photographs of the Beis Shop Tomateros.
